The United States Federal Reserve announced a third consecutive rate cut, causing bitcoin's price to plummet to a multi-day low of $100,250.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell's hint at halting interest rate reductions due to alarming CPI data may have contributed to the downward trend in the crypto market.
Bitcoin's decline of more than $8,000 within 36 hours, along with altcoins experiencing significant losses, resulted in a total crypto market cap decrease of $200 billion.
Nearly $700 million worth of positions were liquidated, with over 250,000 traders being affected.
